Welcome to the Village of Lyons Web site. While some of our pages are currently under construction, our goal is to provide you with useful information about our community that we hope makes it easier for you to do business and live or visit here.
The Village of Lyons was incorporated by the Board of County Supervisors under the General Law of January 6, 1859. In 1887 a legislative charter was obtained and under that act the village has since continued its legal existence.
The Founding Father - Lucius Lyon was born February 26, 1800, in Shelburne Falls, Vermont. He was favored with a common school education and went on to study engineering and surveying. Mr. Lyon came to Detroit at the age of 22 and was appointed Surveyor General, deputy in the territory of northwest of Ohio. He held this position until elected to Congress in 1832. In 1836, Mr. Lyon, being concerned with the survey of government lands, entered the land upon which the Village of Lyons now stands and proceeded to carry out his project of creating a village there.
